#OnThisDay - July 11, 1980 - Toronto, ON
Terry ran in to Nathan Phillips Square with thousands cheering.
“If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope. That ovation was for you, wherever you are in Canada.”

We know that precision oncology can greatly benefit patients who receive it. But how do we *really* know?
Quality indicators specific to precision oncology are rare, and the ones that do exist don’t tend to consider crucial aspects like equity of access and quality of life. 1/3

The shadow of Terry's accomplishments continually grows even after 43 yrs!
It has been almost 43 years since #TerryFox passed away on June 28, 1981, but his legacy lives on. We are proud to support the #MarathonOfHope project, led by the @tfri_research.
Our support focuses on the BC Consortium, also backed by @bccancerfdn.

The @TerryFoxCanada , @tfri_research and @marathonofhope have figured out to actually engage patients. Patients are not simply "voices" or an after thought. We are partners. We are valued. We are part of #TeamCanadaOfCancerResearch
If you are an organization and wonder what true patient engagement is, I'd highly recommend looking at what Terry Fox is doing. They are doing it right and should be emulated.

Cancer patients, survivors and caregivers know what the current gaps are in precision oncology.
That's why the @MarathonofHope's Patient Working Group is launching a funding initiative worth $1M for researchers to explore gaps id'ed by patients and find innovative solutions.

As part of #TFRI10SM, Patient Working Group members evaluated Network trainees on their ability to present their science to non-scientists.
The goal was to give trainees the chance to practice this important skill.

Here's the team that made it out to our traditional Scientific Meeting Terry Fox Run yesterday morning!
@tfri_research @TerryFoxCanada
I was a panelist in this closing session.
Listening to the last session’s panelists share their thoughts on the evolution of data capture & sharing and how that is shifting culture in research. @IanWatsonLab @Parksieda @luxlifescilaw @lincolndstein @MelissaCoombs3
I am honoured to be part of this incredible group!
For one year, our Patient Working Group has helped us shape Network activities.
